    How to Make White Chocolate Maple Blondies

    The very easy blondie recipe comes together with simple ingredients:

    • Butter. I used salted butter, but you can use either salted or unsalted.
    • Light Brown Sugar. The brown sugar adds a little more depth of flavor than granulated sugar in this recipe.
    • Vanilla Extract. For a little more flavor.
    • Salt/Baking Powder.
    • All Purpose Flour.
    • Eggs.
    • Maple Syrup. I always use pure maple syrup, but certainly you can use pancake syrup if that’s all you have, although it doesn’t pack as much flavor. OR you can use 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of maple extract if you have that on-hand as well.

    How To Know When Blondies Are Done Baking

    The trick I use for blondies as well as brownies is that you insert a tooth pick a few inches away from the edge (NOT the center), and if it comes out clean they’re done! The reason I do this is because if you wait until the center comes out clean you will have an overdone brownie/blondie. This trick will leave your blondies soft!

    Is the Maple Butter Sauce Optional?

    Sure, but no. Ha! The maple butter sauce is out of control delicious, so I highly recommend you make it, especially if you plan on eating these warm with ice cream.

    If you are bringing these to an event and aren’t planning to serve with the ice cream you can skip it because it could get messy if you don’t have a fork or spoon. But make sure to try the sauce at some point! It’s life changing good!

    FAQs

    What is the difference between blondies and white chocolate brownies? ›

    Blondies are made without chocolate, while white chocolate brownies are made with melted chocolate in the batter (like regular brownies!). No, they're not brown, but they are made much like brownies are and still have a rich chewy fudgy-like brownie texture, so they're brownies to me!

    Are blondies meant to be gooey in the middle? ›

    A good blondie should be chewy, gooey in the middle and firm around the edges. If you want to add an additional egg yolk to this recipe to make the blondies super gooey, you can! Just to clarify, that would be 1 whole egg plus 2 egg yolks. Try it if you like gooey blondies!

    Why are my blondies still gooey? ›

    Don't Overbake Blondies!

    These blondies are meant to be a little gooey and soft. You can remove them from the oven just before they look like they're completely done because the residual heat of the oven and the pan will continue to cook them. Also, be sure your oven is actually at the temperature it says it is.

    Why is it called a blondie brownie? ›

    Other ingredients such as walnuts or chips can be added to the mixture. Blondies are soft and chewy. The name 'blondies' comes from their light color, which contrasts with the dark color of traditional brownies.

    What are Katharine Hepburn brownies? ›

    The brownies are made with unsweetened chocolate, which is also known as baking, plain or bitter chocolate. It is chocolate in its rawest form and this means that unsweetened chocolate is just ground cocoa nibs that have been refined and contain between 50-55% cocoa butter (cacao fat).

    What makes brownies cakey vs fudgy? ›

    Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

    How to rescue undercooked blondies? ›

    Try making another batch, here are three ways to fix this:
    1. Use a larger pan, the batter will be thinner and cook more evenly.
    2. Using the same pan as originally, bake in a cooler oven, 25 degrees or so, for an extra few minutes. ...
    3. Check for doneness using a toothpick or wooden skewer.

    How to tell if a blondie is done? ›

    Brownies and Blondies

    The toothpick test should produce a few errant crumbs stuck to the tester but not a smooth smear of batter. The edges will feel firm to the touch (not just set but actually kind of firm and crispy) and the surface will feel soft when pressed but will not spring back.

    How do you keep blondies moist? ›

    Granulated sugar - simple fine white granulated sugar keeps these brownies moist. If you reduce the sugar they will not be as fudgy.

    Why do my blonde brownies sink in the middle? ›

    WELL, most likely you just over-whisked your brownie mix. The only step that should be whisked with an electric beater is the eggs, everything else is best done by hand. This prevents the brownie from gaining too many air bubbles, aerating in the oven and then collapsing back down.

    Can you eat undercooked blondies? ›

    In the UK, eggs with the Red Lion seal of approval are safe to eat raw or undercooked. So you can slightly undercook blondies and brownies if you prefer a fudgier texture. However, if you don't cook them enough, you just have a tray of uncooked batter.

    How do you firm up gooey brownies? ›

    DON'T OVER-BAKE the brownies!

    We take ours out while they're still visibly wobbly in the middle - all that chocolate and butter will be liquid while boiling hot, but when they cool down they'll set to their room temperature consistency and the brownies will firm up.

    What is a white brownie called? ›

    There are various names these confectionary items go by; they are most commonly known as blondies but they can also be called blonde brownies or butterscotch brownies. It's understood that much like the brownie, the blondies originated in the USA. However, who invented these tasty snacks is a bit of a mystery.

    What is a blondie vs Brookie? ›

    Visually, it is easy to tell a brookie and a blondie apart. Blondies are paler in color, while brookies have layers of chocolate marbled in. While a brookie houses both a cookie and a brownie taste, blondies use brown sugar as their primary flavoring.

    Why are brownies called Sixers? ›

    Brownies work in small groups called sixes: each six is named after either fairies or woodland creatures. A six is led by a Sixer and has a Second who acts as deputy. The Brownie programme is called the Brownie Adventure. It is split into 3 parts: you, community, world.

    What are the three types of brownies? ›

    Brownie textures fall into three general camps… Cakey, fudgy and chewy. Cakey brownies, like the name implies, are light, moist and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

    What are the white brownies called? ›

    There are various names these confectionary items go by; they are most commonly known as blondies but they can also be called blonde brownies or butterscotch brownies. It's understood that much like the brownie, the blondies originated in the USA. However, who invented these tasty snacks is a bit of a mystery.

    What is the difference between white chocolate and white chocolate baking bars? ›

    True white chocolate, almost always sold in bar form, contains cocoa butter. White baking chips contain no cocoa butter and thus can't be labeled “chocolate,” but they do contain partially hydrogenated oil (usually palm kernel oil).

    What is blonde white chocolate? ›

    Blonde chocolate may look like a whole new variety of chocolate, but it starts out as all-too-familiar white chocolate. Chopped white chocolate is heated and stirred until it caramelizes, turning it a golden color and giving it a toasty, almost graham cracker-like flavor.
